This venerable seaside establishment at Crystal Beach has been dishing up its famous barbecued crabs to generations of beachcombers. The staff bustle about to keep up with the throngs of diners, and on occasion the kitchen gets overwhelmed (avoid peak dining hours for a better experience). Our softshell crabs rated the highest; skip the flavorless fried ones and opt for the sautéed version. With just a dusting of flour and a quick turn in hot butter, they were perfectly cooked.
